Falls short as story is not inventive

A very atmospheric and intense horror game which unfortunately doesn’t actually tell much of a story. The 80’s nostalgia and old style computer programs as puzzles is great, as long as you can put up with all the inconveniences of these systems. The variety of interactions is good as is the way each episode gets longer and more complex, but it’s still a very short game and there’s no replay value. The graphics are also very good, as is the sound effects, although the voice acting quality varies. Overall, it’s just not that rewarding – the story’s reveal and conclusion isn’t that spectacular, and after all the effort of solving the “puzzles”, the ending is disappointing. I was expecting a lot more from the plot rather than just a jumble of events tied to an unrelated trigger event. The last episode does bring it all together nicely, but is rather dull in comparison to what it could have been.

Amazing experience, bad ending

This is a spoiler-free review ---------- The game conists of 4 parts and took me 2.5 hours to experience. Overall a superbly-crafted game with extreme potential, but the ending marred the experience to the point of retroactively ruining the whole game. Acts 1/2 got me hooked, and act 3 was the same until the very end, where there are hints that things are not as they seem. The last act was unexpected and its goal was to connect the loose strands from the previous acts. Sadly, the overall narrative in which they are connected effectively put a steel wall between my perspective and the characters. I ended up acting out what the character did, while not being able to change anything. I'm sorry to say this, but the narrative felt forced, and forcing such a perspective shift on the player caused the previous experiences tyo be tainted. I suggest buying it on a sale, and playing acts 1-3 (avoid act 4).

Good surprise

Play this game in the dark, with headphones and enjoy. It will take you a few hours if your not use to the old mechanics. But it's worth it. If you're not a native english speaker, put the subtitles on, it will help you. That is all i'm gonna say.

Has it's moments, but also dissappoints.

The game's premise is an effective one, and during the first three chapters there is this certain atmosphere to be found that can give off quite the unnerving feeling. Unfortunately a series of cheap scares by loud noises and flashy screens and a véry dissappointing and super clichéd resolution to the overall story in chapter 4 just doesn't make this the indie gem that it could've been.

Captivating atmosphere!

This game blew me away, it had been on my wishlist for a looong time, but never truly went through to get it. Then I saw it was it on sale for 90 cents, and said let's just do it, and boy, I feel I scammed the devs for having paid so little to experience their work. It was rather short (like 3h gameplay for me) but a b s o l u t e l y worth it. The atmosphere, the thrill, the interaction with the game is simply amazing. I was hooked, and needed to finish at the way to the end (3 AM). For single-use story-centered games, this is a must buy. I'll say though, sometimes when you interact with the consoles, it can get a little bit tricky when thinking of the commands, specially if (like me) you didn't get to play many text-based adventures, but its not hard to pick up quickly. Be wary of the hints they drop at the start of each story, you will need those. Also, even though they do warn you, if you have photosensitive epilepsy, or just like me you find it really hard to look at bright flashing lights, you might want to take story #2 slow or not at all. That one made me narrow quite a bit my eyes. Overall, a greatly enjoyable thriller experience that I wish I could wipe my memories of just to replay it again.
